Conclave 2024
I really enjoyed Conclave. The film feels like a very interesting cipher for modern politics since most people would say the Catholic Church as an ancient institution with antiquated internal workings is confusing, but our democratic institutions have shown equal wear and tear, increasingly straining under the pressures of modern society.

About as enjoyable a cinematic experience as watching sand dry, Dune was too long with stilted characters and an overly ‘sexed up’ approach to Frank Herbert’s series. The spice must flow but the dialogue and storytelling in this film did not. Visually beautiful except for the godawful rendering of the sand dunes in extended shots during the ornithopter sequence, aesthetic appeal and spectacle cinema couldn’t save this film. Timothee Chalamet plays an angsty teen (go figure), and Zendaya is massively…
